Everything was mid. The pupusas have the wrong cheese and barely any meat. The chicken nachos were just not good. The happy hour margaritas were overly sweet and barely had any alcohol (we ordered a round of shots to pour into the margs just to make them drinkable). Our waitress was fine other than the fact that we had to wave her down multiple times and basically put dishes in her hand to get her to clear the table. Don't believe Instagram, the hype is not worth it.

Chips cold but not stale. Salsa good; not too watery. Queso okay, served steaming hot (most likely microwaved).

Margaritas good, quesa birria tacos good, flan good.

Definitely better than some other places in the area. I would eat here again.

Came in from out of town stayed up the road and we wanted Mexican food. The guacamole is green like from a packet; not authentic and not good. The place is decorated beautifully but the food is sub par with limited flavor. And….they had no salsa for the chips. Claimed, “it went bad”. The first and probably the last time I’ll hear this from a Mexican restaurant that based on decide alone looks authentic. The salsa went bad….what? The shredded chicken taco was really...
